Why We Do It

We genuinely care about every kid. The sad ones. The angry ones. The falling-between-the-cracks ones. Collectively, the team at Totem PD has spent countless hours with kids who are struggling in one way or another.

The impact these children have had on each of us has been profound. We genuinely care for kids and we have not only witnessed the despair, rage, and loneliness in their lives, but the joy, laughter, and belonging as well.

Not Your Mom's Professional Development...

…Unless her PD is totally engaging, laugh-out-loud funny, and loaded with best practices in mental health, special education, and behavior management. We spent the last decade refining our programs through hundreds of training seminars to deliver pure happiness to hard-working educators. We reject the status quo of professional development—boring, patronizing, empty, and out of touch—that leaves educators with only bits and pieces of the tools they actually need. 

Instead of the status quo, let Totem PD deliver the goods with:

  • Laugh-out-loud fun and engaging professional learning experiences.
  • Best practices in student wellness, behavior management, mental health, and special education.
  • Ready-to-use tools and strategies.
  • Practical problem solving and customized consultation.
